Induction Master's Partnership Program with San Diego County School Districts

The Induction Master’s Partnership program is a unique collaboration between San Diego County school districts and the Department of Learning and Teaching. The program offers newly hired teachers working in the San Diego area the opportunity to earn a master’s degree in Curriculum and Teaching as they work to meet induction requirements for the Professional Clear Credential. Classes are co-constructed and co-taught by university and school district instructors. Special incentives exist for district teachers at low performing schools for whom tuition costs are greatly discounted through scholarships which support the program. The two-year, cohort-based program is currently open only to teachers in one of the San Diego County school districts who are enrolled in a district induction program.
